The Neverending Football League

That's what NFL stands for now.

Norv Turner is back with the Chargers... he was offensive coordinator with them earlier in the decade. He was the only coach available with experience as a head coach. Former Bears Defensive Coordinator is now the Chargers' linebackers coach. Interesting.

So which head coaching gig will open up next?

AFC East: Who knows how long Bill Belichick will stay at it? When he does, his explanation will be short... as was his post-game interview after the loss in the AFC Championship.

AFC North: Cleveland's Romeo Crennel was on the hot seat at the end of last year... give him another year and a good draft. Let the QB's develop.

AFC South: Tennessee's Jeff Fisher was supposedly the next Cowboys' coach. I think he'll end up a Giant within three years.

AFC West: This division will be stable for the next two years.

NFC East: Hopefully, legal trouble won't keep Andy Reid away much longer. NY's Tom Coughlin has a short leash this season... could be done by '08.

NFC North: No changes here for quite a while...

NFC South: I just hope Jon Gruden stays with Tampa Bay for a while. No other changes.

NFC West: As an ardent Seahawks fan, I really like Mike Holmgren. He'll be around for at least three more years. Everyone else has only been around for less than two years.

Good luck to all the teams playing basketball tonight. Buckle up.
